Dacor Viper Tec Regulator Spare parts

[kelwts]

Hi ,

I'm new and from Malaysia . I have two units of Dacor Viper Tec regulators that somehow have had the front piece ( purge button ) which was made of some type of plastic / rubber material that has crumbled over the years . Wonder if it is still possible to get the parts as I know Dacor is no longer manufacturing ??

I have inserted a pic of the damaged part .

Your assistance in this matter is very much appreciated .

Thanks

The Mares MV octo seems to use the same case with a different purge cover that looks like it would fit.
Now, to find a Mares dealer that is willing to order them for you is another question.
Another option is to swap out your 2nds for something like the HOG D1.

The Viper was made by Mares after they took over the Dacor name. The part, which may not have a Dacor badge, should be available from Mares. Scubatoys in the US could probably fix you up, although the international shipping cost may be prohibitive.

I'm all for fixing things rather than replacing, but in this case I'd say use this as an opportunity to say your goodbyes to a bad regulator.

As other said, any Mares dealer can order an MV purge cover, which is compatible with the dacor viper- The 'MV' stands for mares viper. Unfortunately, the only color available is yellow.
